I looked at the nice looking T "square" back when it was released a few months ago as a retirement present to myself. A multi function tool does take up less room and if you want both tools at the same time it would speed things up. But you still have to consider the cost and individual tools from known manufacturers appeared to be cheaper when added together. I did not the extra features and since it appears to be overpriced bought a plain 760mm Veiko T square which is square for £20. But I still needed a retirement present to myself and bought the KM router plane for £118.96, shipped from China rather than US so cheaper maybe because only one journey. Also had plenty of machine oil on it and the paint finish is not flat. looking forward to using when I have finished my summer chores.

Pretty much reflected my experience with these tools. With one exception; there was (just) enough play in my t-square to set square again thankfully. The hooked on Wood guy claimed it was self setting. Couldn't help but call bullshit on that. And those type of drill guide bushes don't set square either. Looks lovely but a hard one to recommend for the money. Shouldve been black too! Router plane is next level though. Don't quote me on this but I think the rough black on veritas and the like is a treatment rather than a paint coat. Carbonised maybe? Sorry to hear times up on the workshop bud.
@HewAndAwe3 күн бұрын
I was meaning to ask you does you’re really have slop in it, mine not even a fraction of movement to set it square, to be honest if it did I wouldn’t have confidence using it cause I’d have to be checking it every use when I can reach for one that I know is square 🤷🏻♂️
@JimRimS4S3 күн бұрын
The body of the Veritas plane is made of ductile cast iron. This type of casting is suppose to resist any sort of movement/warpage etc. Therefor the rough surface on topis a result of it being cast.Liquid metal pour into a sand mold, after its cooled,the bottom is milled flat, and the top is rough. I would be interested to see what the dimensional stability of the steel plane is over time and whether it maintains it's "squareness" with the plane iron. I might be full of shite and have misunderstood the whole reason for using cast iron vs steel but that is my understanding of the process.
@BischBaschBosch2 күн бұрын
@@JimRimS4S The Hongdui uses die steel. Die steel is super durable, has good corrosion resistance and importantly, is stable under temperature changes. It's temperature changes that can cause warpage in other steels. Die steel is what they use to stamp and form other metals, sometimes under extreme heat so, it needs to be stable. The main downside in using it for a router plane (or any plane) body is, if the base wasn't flat, it would take an age to flatten it with the kit in moat workshops. It has to be milled flat from the get go. It should stay that way once it is. The rough back on the veriras is from casting but, I'm unsure if the black is a coat (Like a matt paint) or a treatment.🤷♂️👍
@JimRimS4SКүн бұрын
@@BischBaschBosch It'd just a paint like any other cast iron plane body.I didn't think about how hard it would be to lap or flatten a steel plane using the tools that the average hobbies has at hand. I hope they have good QC. I know that the Veritas castings are allowed to sit for up to a year before machining to let it "settle"into its long term shape. I'd be interested (as a tool nerd) to see what the long term stability of this kind of steel is in a year or two. I did not know anything about die steel so thanx for the info
@BischBaschBoschКүн бұрын
@@JimRimS4S Guess we'll find out in 20 years😁 To be honest, for die steel, a router plane is an easy life. Some dies stamp parts millions of times per day for years. Might be different in a hand plane as frogs and plates introduce twist forces. I suspect more manufacturers don't use it due to cost.

Great advice, Ben. You hit the big issues, I think. One 'a ha' moment for me was checking unit measures across all of my measuring implements... discovered really fast that not all rulers are worth a damn. Now I have a steel rule, sliding engineer's T-square (4"), and yes, an old Stanley tape measure (~20 years old). All of the units measure the same across all three. Never had much of an issue with the tape, either, but then that's more for getting close to final dimensions. One thing I learned that I'd add here is this: learn how to freaking mark your material... and most importantly, make your own marking action the same, every damn time, ideally with the same scribing implement (my weapon of choice is a .7mm clicker pencil). Be well!

I'm retiring later this year from my regular job. In preparation for that next adventure I've bought some very high end tools as well as very inexpensive ones. I've been blessed with the ability to purchase thousands of dollars of tools. I have news for all the nay Sayers, I have Festool , DeWalt , a $5k cnc machine etc. I'm disabled so I purchased those tools to make work easier for me to work. I still make shitty woodwork at times. Who cares what tools you have. High end tools only make things faster and easier, not making the operator better. Many of the KZbinr's are professional woodworkers making the high end tools necessary so they can complete projects on time. How long does it take to manually make a mortise and tenon joint? Domino's just make it easier and faster...time is money.

You say yourself that you spend hundreds of hours editing and the revenue is so meagre, so why do you do it? I’m not criticising, I’m genuinely interested. Is it just an altruistic desire to pass on knowledge? If so, great, thanks. Or is it something you just enjoy? It doesn’t sound like it, judging by the 45 minutes of footage spent wondering why jealous people are so angry. Perhaps you just feel that it needed saying. Ok.
